Hollywood always thinks it's a good idea to throw all these celebrities into one movie and then poof, the movie is great. This movie is horrible. The acting was flat. The storyline was forced and congested. The ending was predictable. Avoid at all costs.

Feel good chick flick movie. Sometimes you just need that. Acting is a bit flat given the A-list stars (except Aniston who is good in this), otherwise I would've given it five stars. The story line is sweet and clean ( no sex no nudity minimal foul language)

This movie is why female directors don't win Oscars; because garbage like this is made by male directors/producers. The sappy storyline with everything working out in the end is unrealistic and annoying. I had to endure this because my friend wanted to go, but if I had driven I would have walked out of the movie.

Oh, my gosh, it wasn't as bad as all that. I'd read so many bad reviews that I gave this one a skip, but ended up checking it out with my adult daughter. It wasn't a cringe worthy performance by any of the cast. Just another feel good chick flick, really. Make of that what you will.

A goofy sitcom on a community of mothers, new, young, old or dead, and their relationships with their children, grandchildren, partners, husbands and beaus. There were a few memorable funny moments but overall, a soon-to-be-forgotten plot. So added this long review (spoiler alert) for future reference:

But I do have this 100% hypoallergenic right-side out bra, for you to wear home since you're exposed on that side.
-Oh, that's so kind of you. Thank you.
Pop that on. Gold plated.
-Is this yours?
Well...
===
I love Zack, but there's a reason I'm afraid of marriage. Um... The truth is I have no idea who the hell I am.
-That's a big one.
I was adopted.
-Oh, okay.
And I never met my biological mother.
-You never told me that.
Never told anyone that, only Zack. And I've always wondered, did she just throw me away? Or, you know, was there a reason she got rid of me?
-Aw.
I have abandonment issues.

(Best moment)
Oh, there's Mikey. Hi, honey.
-A lion! He's got a...
Oh, my God, the costume's on backwards. He had a lion...
-Did you do that?
Peter. Don't touch it, don't touch it. Ee I ee I oh

Nov 22, 2016 repost - Opening lines:
Ah, Mother's Day. Paige, come on, honey, you have to go to school. I love being a mother. But what about the other 364 days of the year? When you're trying to get your kid to school and you're surviving on very little sleep because you're up all night sewing costumes for the school play and you've still got to go to work in the morning. Go. It's about the never-ending driving to soccer, gymnastics, or ballet. It's about getting your kids to look up from their computer or iPad or iPod or iPhone or whatever "I" they're looking at.
===
Did you look this good when we were married?
-No, I actually got better.
===
Jesse. You are the happiest divorced couple I've ever met.
===
We're going to be late for school, and you, don't be late for soccer practice this time.
-I won't.
Mom was never late for practice.
-No, she wasn't.

How did you know we were even here?
-I'm a mother.
===
I don't even remember what our stupid argument was about.
-Oh, let me refresh your memory. She saw a picture of you and Russell on Facebook, and even though he's a doctor, she threatened to disown you if you continue to date a man whose skin was darker than a Frappuccino.
===
So, Mother's Day is coming and I will be spending it with my mother. I brought her out with my most recent boyfriend and he leaves for the bathroom, not even out of earshot, and she's like, "Well, he's all right, I guess, "but is that the nose you want to see on your little girl?"
===
By the way, your child is eating sand, if you...
-Tanner, don't eat that. There's cat poop in it.
That's so gross. What if there is cat poop...
--No, he's fine. They survive... Cat poop... and then they grow up to be just like us. Yeah, and they have a very healthy immune system.
